Ever since the premiere of Bigg Boss 20 on September 6, featuring an eclectic mix of 16 contestants like Mahhi Vij, Asif Khan, Aman Gandhi, Amrapali Dubey, Qazi Touqeer, Ritu Tiwari, Young DSA, YouTuber ScoutOP, Arishfa Khan, and sports icon Mary Kom, the show has drawn heavy criticism from audiences. Viewers and critics alike have taken to social media to label this season’s casting as lackluster and boring due to a perceived lack of high-profile star power. During the high-voltage “Weekend Ka Vaar” episode, megastar host Salman Khan directly confronted these widespread public grievances regarding the house’s roster.

“Sometimes the Selection is Lacking”: Bhaijaan Candidly Responds to Casting Flaws

Engaging in a candid conversation with contestant Amrapali Dubey on stage, Salman Khan asked whether she felt any missing elements in the house. When she denied it, the host offered an honest assessment of the selection process. Acknowledging the audience’s disappointment, Salman remarked that while the creative team tries to curate a dynamic group, sometimes selection falls short. In his trademark unfiltered style, he quipped that when viewers point out a lack of fiery personalities, the makers themselves feel the house needs a couple of unruly characters to spice up the game.

Rule Violations, Drama, and Twists Keep Fans Hooked Despite Criticism

Shifting his focus to the housemates themselves, Salman humorously commended the participants for their contributions, pointing out their frequent rule violations, raw emotions, rudeness, and unpredictable actions. Despite initial fan reservations about the line-up, the show’s intense drama—including a unique twist where contestants possess two lives to survive nominations—has kept viewers glued to their screens. Recent episodes saw actress Uditi Singh lose one of her lives after securing the lowest public votes, while Kanika Mann lost her safety boon after it was revoked by house captain Young DSA, ensuring that the entertainment quotient remains high.
